Yeah. The volume before the anime started sold 220k before falling off the chart.

5th anniversary of Haikyuu, I realized now... I'm glad that I was able to follow this series since the beginning, I owe a lot from Nisekoi and Haikyuu, which started almost at the same time, 3 months of difference or so. Because of those two I got interesting in TOCs, to root for them, and knew more about Jump and started to read more series from the magazine. The future was bright at that time, but 5 years after the future doesn't seem so bright, unfortunately...
One Piece is still there for us, but all the good mangas are going to end in the next years: Haikyuu itself, Shokugeki no Soma is reaching its middle, I think, and The Promised Neverland will not last long at all... The rest is just a footnote in the magazine...

Knb range was around 200~250k before the anime too.

estimates

Kimetsu　5
**96570　（*38 days）（「65,822」・11764・8792・6227.5・3964.5）

Kimetsu　4
**58993.5　（*38 days）（「21,815」・18264・5896・4435・4587.5・3996）

Thats a 65% increase... holy shit.

HQ takes the cake for best chapter this week. Such an amazing chapter for its 5 anniversary.

Hey, question to you Jump guys who know your stuff, but does anyone have a list of the successive editors for Bleach and when they served as editor for the series? Asking for a good friend.

 

[vampire killer]

Viz Have Black Clover And My hero Academia why would they even think about adding Kimetsu no Yaiba. The manga can't even sell 100k

2 of Dragon Garow Lee assistants released a oneshot on Jump rookies site

it's pretty generic, but their artstyle resembles Koji Inada way more Toriyama

[conankudo]

For those who had doubts: Viz just confirmed it: we get two titles:
It's a brand new issue with brand new series! Joining the already epic lineup are WE NEVER LEARN and ROBOT x LASERBEAM! Can Nariyuki tutor two hopeless cases while keeping his sanity? Will Robo ever miss a shot? Find out in this week's issue

I'm surprised they aren't going for Marie, personally I found the jump start pretty bad but it seemed like the second most popular online after dr stone. I guess it really is just Beel fans that like it and the legal readers don't care much for it.

Though I suppose there's always a chance of them doing 4 series, unlikely as it is.

Looks like a modernized take on Toriyama's style, if anything.

VIZ is honoring the subscription we pay for them. I don't pay the subscription to read something like Hungry Marie.
Even Beelzebub fans should recognize that Hungry Marie is way bellow Beelzebub, which was not that great itself.

To think that my prediction was off only with Poro... That's a pity, but I can survive with Dr. Stone, whatever.

 

[WyldViolet]

Beelzebub wasn't that great? It's second only to Gintama in its genre.
Also, Hungry Marie is great. I guess people only want formulaic bullshit and hate fun.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Can you explain what's great about Hungry Marie? I fail to see what's so great about it. The humor isn't that great, the characters so far are unlikeable save for Marie, and it generally seems all over the place. Even the art isn't anything outstanding. This is coming from a fan of Beelzebub. None of the charm of Beelzebub is present in Hungry Marie. Also, just because something is unique and goes against the norm doesn't make it good. Don't assume people only like formulaic manga just because they don't like a certain mediocre "unique" manga.

 

[vampire killer]

The olnly charm of Beel was Hilda legs. Marie is fine for a french princess but that Taiga is the MC and he is as averge Jump hero as naruto. An the comedy is for 5 year old kids. They are the main readers of jump but still.

 

[tirakai]

Nothing happened in Marie's first chapter until the last few pages other than a Laputa reference then the next 2 just explained the basic premise. There wasn't much comedy, not much action, not much romance, and without those what is it even about? Beel sameface?

It suffers from the same problem as U19 in that it takes 4 chapters just to get a basic idea of what kind of series it's planning to be but even U19 at least had a theme to tie the lazy attempts at genres together with the adults are oppressing kids and the kids have to fight back! stuff. All Marie has is the gender flipping and while that might have been fine a decade or two ago it's not a novel thing any more, a series needs more than just 'he's a boy trapped in a girl's body XD' to be entertaining.

 

[Nakura]

Out of all the new series, Hungry Marie is the most dissapointing. I like Beelzebub but Hungry Marie kinda fell flat to me.

 

[Avok]

I guess you only want formulaic bullshit and hate fun.

 

[Koi Kage]

Which jump series had/has the best overall antagonist?

 

[WyldViolet]

Hunter x Hunter has three with Chrollo Lucifer, Meruem, and Dragon Quest.
